[R] They taught AI to edit genes with CRISPR. It knocked out 4 skin cancer genes.

A new paper introduces CRISPR-GPT, an AI-powered tool that streamlines the design of CRISPR-based gene editing experiments. This system leverages LLMs and a comprehensive knowledge base to guide users through the complex process of designing CRISPR experiments.

CRISPR-GPT integrates an LLM with domain-specific knowledge and external tools to provide end-to-end support for CRISPR experiment design.

The system breaks down the design process into modular subtasks, including CRISPR system selection, guide RNA design, delivery method recommendation, protocol generation, and validation strategy. …
